Foundation in Coaching Practice Programme

The i-coach academy Foundation in Coaching Practice is an open programme with a strong professional pedigree; accredited by EMCC at Practitioner level, recognised by the Association for Coaching and endorsed by the Institute of Leadership and Management.

The programme is structured to support you to blend coaching skills with your existing activities as leaders and professionals. This programme will also support you to assess your appetite for further professional development as a coach.

Attracting leaders, internal coaches, psychologists and other professionals, participants on our programmes experience a diverse range of perspectives that increase the learning opportunities presented.

Delivered in seven days over five modules, the programme 'demystifies' coaching, introducing the core concepts, models and approaches, whilst supporting you to practice your coaching skills within and between each module.

The programme combines classroom based activities, practical application, self study and reflection. A key focus is on applying the skills learnt to your individual context.

On successful completion of the Foundation in Coaching Practice programme you will be able to:

• Confidently use appropriate coaching skills and techniques
• Engage in effective formal and informal coaching conversations
• Have established the foundations for building a career as a Coach
• Understand the importance of a path of professional development to evolve your practice further

At i-coach academy we value difference and do not believe there is one way to coach. We are recognised for our tailored approach to learning and our focus on each individual's learning journey. For us coaching is a learning conversation and our programmes are underpinned by self-organised learning principles which support individuals to develop their own style and approach. The programme is delivered in seven days across five modules with applied work between modules. Participants are expected to actively experiment with both delivering and receiving coaching and developing their critical reflective skills. The programme accommodates all learning styles and combines classroom based activities with practical application, self study and reflection. A key focus is on supporting individuals to apply the skills learnt to their individual context.
